“I am so so sorry”, “Fireflies fly forever” – Zelina Vega pens emotional tribute to Bray Wyatt
Wrestlers across the world have been left heartbroken by the passing of Bray Wyatt. WWE superstar Zelina Vega has led the way with an emotional tribute on her Instagram handle.
The late Wyatt family leader’s last televised match was at Royal Rumble 2023 against LA Knight in a “Pitch black” match. He was taken off television post the bout, with plans for a feud with Bobby Lashley for Wrestlemania being scrapped because of the former WWE champion's health struggles.
Zelina Vega referred to him as the kindest and most captivating mind she knew. She also said that the Eater of Worlds was one of wrestling’s most brilliant minds.
"RIP to one of the kindest, most captivating people that I’ve ever known. One of wrestling’s most brilliant minds. Always helpful, always sticking up for his friends.. I can not believe the news today. I’ve known Windham since my first tryout at FCW..one of the people that believed in me and wanted me to live my dream since jump street.I’m so so sorry.
